  • Ischemia/Reperfusion Injured Intestinal Epithelial Cells Cause Cortical Neuron Death by Releasing Exosomal Micrornas Associated
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ischemia/reperfusion injured intestinal epithelial cells cause cortical neuron death by releasing exosomal microRNAs associated with apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis Chien‑Chin Hsu1,2, Chien‑Cheng Huang2,3,4,5,6, Lan‑Hsiang Chien7, Mao‑Tsun Lin7, Ching‑Ping Chang7*, Hung‑Jung Lin2,8* & Chung‑Ching Chio9* To date, there is no good evidence that intestine epithelial cells (IEC) afected by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury are able to cause cortical neuron injury directly. Additionally, it remains unclear whether the neuronal damage caused by I/R injured IEC can be afected by therapeutic hypothermia (TH, 32 °C). To address these questions, we performed an oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD) afected IEC-6- primary cortical neuron coculture system under normothermia (37 °C) or TH (32 °C) conditions. It was found that OGD caused hyperpermeability in IEC-6 cell monolayers. OGD-preconditioned IEC-6 cells caused cortical neuronal death (e.g., decreased cell viability), synaptotoxicity, and neuronal apoptosis (evidenced by increased caspase-3 expression and the number of TUNEL-positive cells), necroptosis (evidenced by increased receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase-1 [RIPK1], RIPK3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase [MLKL] expression), and pyroptosis (evidenced by an increase in caspase-1, gasdermin D [GSDMD], IL-1β, IL-18, the apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain [ASC], and nucleotide oligomerization domain [NOD]-like receptor [NLRP]-1 expression). TH did not afect the intestinal epithelial hyperpermeability but did attenuate OGD‑induced neuronal death and synaptotoxicity. We also performed quantitative real‑ time PCR to quantify the genes encoding 84 exosomal microRNAs in the medium of the control-IEC-6, the control-neuron, the OGD-IEC-6 at 37 °C, the OGD-IEC-6 at 32 °C, the neuron cocultured with OGD-IEC-6 at 37 °C, and the neurons cocultured with OGD-IEC-6 at 32 °C.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.

Water Resources Bureau, Tainan City Government Tainan, Taiwan ABSTRACT the soil particle size is comparatively uniform, and its groundwater level is high. According to the geological criteria (Youd & Hoose, 1977; On February 6th, 2016, an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 occurred in Kramer, 1996), soil liquefaction may occur in these regions during an southern Taiwan, causing large-scale soil liquefaction in Tainan city. earthquake. This study compared the topographic maps of the disaster areas taken in 1924 and 2016, and found most of this disaster areas were located in the low-lying places. This observation expressed a strong association between the low-lying reclaimed land and soil liquefaction. In addition, this study collected the sand boil sample from field, and compared the grain size distribution with official borehole report. The preliminary results indicated the liquefied soil layer might occurred in 4.5-m depth beneath the reclaimed soil. The results of this study showed liquefaction potential evaluation should be take account carefully for urban development in low-lying reclaimed land in the future. KEY WORDS: 0206 earthquake; soil liquefaction; low-lying reclamation. INTRODUCTION On February 6, 2016, an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 occurred in the Fig.
